FlowPrompter - AI Teleprompter

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 16:55:10 -0700

Platform:
Apple iPhone

Cost:
Free

Description:
FlowPrompter turns your iPhone and iPad into a professional teleprompter, so you can speak to the camera naturally instead of memorizing every word.

New in this version: AI Voice Follow. The app listens as you talk and scrolls the script to match you in real time. It supports many languages and uses Apple's on-device speech recognition where available. The words move at your pace, not the other way around. No remote, no foot pedal, no rushing to keep up.

WHY FLOWPROMPTER
• AI Voice Follow: speak and the script scrolls to where you are, automatically
• Full-screen prompter: large, clear text with smooth, adjustable scrolling
• Record mode: film yourself with the script floating over the camera, so you look straight into the lens
• Make it yours: scroll speed, font size, line spacing, alignment, text and background colors, plus a cue line to mark where you read
• Mirror mode: flip the text horizontally or vertically for teleprompter glass and external rigs
• Countdown and loop: get set before you start, then repeat hands-free
• Cloud sync: write on the web or desktop and present on your phone, with your scripts kept in sync across devices
• iPhone and iPad: a focused, full-screen reading experience on both

PERFECT FOR
• Creators recording for YouTube, TikTok, Reels and podcasts
• Presenters, coaches, founders and sales teams
• Teachers and students rehearsing talks and speeches
• Actors running lines and recording self-tape auditions
• Anyone who speaks on camera and wants it to feel natural

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create a script, or sync one from your other devices
2. Tap to go full screen
3. Press play, or turn on Voice Follow and just start talking

Sign in with email, Google or Apple to back up your scripts and keep them synced everywhere.

FlowPrompter is free to download. Get it now and make speaking to a camera feel easy.

Exposure Check

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 16:49:28 -0700

Platform:
Apple iPad

Cost:
4.99

Description:
Exposure Check brings professional-grade exposure analysis to your iPhone, iPad, and Mac for 1 low price! False color imaging — used by cinematographers on set worldwide — reveals exactly where your highlights clip and shadows crush before it's too late. Use this tool to import images from Movies, TV Shows, and more to reveal how professional cinematographers exposed their final graded images.

SHOOT IN APPLE LOG
Capture with the in-app camera in Apple Log and read exposure the way you would on a pro monitor. Zone and False Color overlays follow the exact Apple Log curve, so every zone lines up with true scene stops — the full dynamic range of your sensor, measured in real light.

REAL-TIME FALSE COLOR CAMERA
See your scene through a live false color overlay as you shoot. Instantly identify overexposed highlights, underexposed shadows, and perfectly exposed midtones — the same tools used on professional film sets, now in your pocket.

TAP TO METER
Tap anywhere in the frame for an instant zone readout and a recommended f-stop. Simulate any lens aperture with the IRIS control and get a recommendation to place your subject at 18% middle gray — before you roll.

ZONE SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Exposure Check maps your image into distinct one-stop tonal zones so you can evaluate exposure with precision and intent.

MANUAL CAMERA CONTROLS
Take full control with manual ISO, shutter angle, white balance, frame rate, and lens selection — plus pinch-to-zoom lens switching and a live, draggable histogram.

ANALYZE ANY PHOTO
Import photos from your library and run Zone or False Color analysis instantly. The stacked compare view shows your original and analyzed image together so you can see exactly what the exposure is doing.

ORGANIZE WITH PROJECTS
Create projects to keep your shots organized. Import directly from your photo library, move and copy images between projects, and review your work in a clean full-screen viewer with smooth swipe navigation.

KEY FEATURES

-Live Apple Log capture with real-time Zone and False Color overlays
-Exact Apple Log curve — every zone is a true scene stop
-Tap to meter: zone readout + recommended f-stop anywhere in the frame
-Simulated IRIS with 18% gray recommendations
-Manual ISO, shutter angle, white balance, FPS, and lens controls
-Pinch-to-zoom lens switching and a live, draggable histogram
-Import and analyze photos from your library
-Stacked compare view — original above, analyzed below
-Adjustable color reference bar
-Project organization with multi-select, move, and copy
-Full-screen image viewer with smooth swipe navigation

A note on accuracy: On graded or imported images, overlays reflect the how the image was graded — not the exposure captured on set. For true scene-stop readings, shoot in Apple LOG with the built-in camera.

Whether you're on set, shooting in the field, or reviewing work in post — Exposure Check gives you the exposure tools professionals rely on.
